In houdini, vops are like ice trees, the rest is a node based operator stack. It took me a month or so to get my head around it, but after 6 months I actually preferred houdini to soft. Don't get me wrong.. some things will always be missed in soft, but even if autodesk announced that the death of soft was some bad April fools joke, I would still stick to houdini at this point. That being said, I really love how people still do things in soft that maya can't without a phd in C++

Well I started looking at Houdini and had hoped that it would be possible to delve into nodes of some of the preset particle effects and build them like with ICE. But it didn't seem to work that way or I was possibly missing something? I'm super busy at the moment so don't have much spare time to dig around.

    Not strands as that's a problem with the two ends. It's a lot of
    particles distributed between the two nulls, then turbulised
    twice, once for the large scale effect and once for the small

        Cool, thanks. Strands with noise I guess - how do you get
        them to be constrained in the other end?
